In southern island
of an archipelago
called Philippines
I proudly live.

It is green, wide
and magnificently
big.

Bisaya I consider
no dialect but
surely a language.

We talk in distinct
language but we stand
in one feet.

And when northern
people talk behind
our backs or spread
nasty rumors about
us, we simply call
them ignorants!

Because this
is our island
they know so
little about.
